Outside cadging money and day-dreaming at school, Billy has no positive interests. His greatest fear is ending up working down the pit as a coal miner. At that time, British miners were amongst the lowest paid workers in the developed world. But he has no apparent escape route from what would ultimately be his fate. That is until he finds an outlet from his pitiful existence through training a chicken that he takes from a nest on a farm. His interest in learning prompts Billy to steal a book from a secondhand book shop as he cannot get a borrower’s card.

ABOUT CINEMA DU LYON

Obsessed and petulant, brilliant, yet obscure, Cinema du Lyon are les flâneurs of the digital age; nothing satisfies, and yet everything delights. Effortlessly and without moral committment, they invite nothing more than the total immersion of the soul into the flames of passion.
Their dialogue leeches into our living narratives, taking it over at times. The found scraps of speech resemble toast crumbs upon a duvet, broken glass deep in a Persian rug, a sudden stab of pain at the zenith of sexual ecstasy - the harshness and the irritability, the sweetness and the sadism, the futility of purpose.
